We are saddened by the passing of Brother Knight Thomas Scanlon.
Tom achieved the status of Honorary Life Member having been a
Knight since 1989 and becoming a Knight of the Third Degree in 2014.
Beloved husband, for over 60 years, of Peggie M. Scanlon (nee Hanley),
Loving father of Kathryn P. (Randy) Remold, Mary E. (Bob) Walsh,
Anne M. (Matthew) Johnson & John W. (Trish) Scanlon.
Cherished grandpa of Kyle, Kristina, Brittany, Brandi, Katie, Lauren,
Jack, Ryan, Grace, Connor, Claire, Nora, Aiden & Kiera.
Adored great grandpa of Charlotte.
Caring brother of Margaret, Mary and the late Eugene.
He was preceded in death by his parents John and Catherine (nee Hickey)
Scanlon.
Thomas grew up on a farm in County Waterford, Ireland. As a young man,
he met the love of his life, Peggie Hanley. The adventurous couple
immigrated to the United States, married, settled in Chicago and
started a family. Soon afterwards they began a construction business,
building homes for many families. As Thomas and Peggie raised their four
children, they became very involved in St. Alexander parish.
He was a dedicated family man and a devout Catholic.
